The list of moderate Muslim targets was published in the terrorist group's glossy propaganda magazine Dabiq - which is aimed at recruiting jihadists from the West.

Abedin, who has been Clinton's top aide since the mid-1990s, was named as a 'politically active apostate' alongside US Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota and British Members of Parliament Sayeeda Warsi and Sajid Javid.

The magazine encouraged its followers to kills the prominent Western Muslims who they branded as 'overt crusaders' who 'involve themselves in the politics and enforcing laws of the kufr (disbelievers).'

Political aide Abedin, who is married to New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, first began working for Clinton while she was still in college at George Washington University, being assigned to the then first lady after getting a White House internship.

Since then, Hillary has rarely seen in public without Abedin by her side. The onetime junior staffer and 'body woman' has risen through the ranks to become vice chairman of the Democratic front-runner's presidential campaign.

US Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota (pictured) and British Members of Parliament Sayeeda Warsi and Sajid Javid were also named on the hit list

And she has been discussed publicly as a potential White House Chief of Staff in a potential Hillary Clinton presidency.

While Rep Ellison, another high profile American Muslim, became the first person of Islamic faith to be elected to the U.S. Congress in 2007, when he chose to use an English translation of the Qur'an that once belonged to President Thomas Jefferson for his reenacted swearing-in ceremony.

ISIS also confirmed, for the first time, that brothers Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, who blew themselves up in the attacks on the Belgian capital, were responsible for 'all preparations for the raids in Paris and Brussels.'

'Paris was a warning. Brussels was a reminder,' the article warned. 'What is yet to come will be more devastating and more bitter by the permission of Allah, and Allah prevails.'

The suicide attacks on the Belgian capital last month killed 34 people and wounded more than 270 others.

Khalid, 27, and Ibrahim, 29, had joined ISIS while in jail for charges of carjacking and bank robbery.

Their involvement provided for the first time a direct link between the Brussels attacks and the Paris massacre that killed 130 people last November.

Dabiq also confirmed Najim Laachraoui, 24, a Belgian of Moroccan descent had been the bomb maker for both the Paris and Brussels attacks.

The suicide bomber had blown himself up at Brussels airport.

Dabiq went onto describe Khalid, who killed 14 people when he detonated his bomb at a metro train at Maalbeek station near the EU headquarters, as a 'man of strong character, a natural leader'.

Ibrahim blew himself up in the check-in hall of Brussels Zaventem Airport on the day of the Brussels terrorist attacks on March 22.

The magazine claimed that Khalid had three visions before carrying out the attacks.

In his first, which he said he had in jail, Dabiq claims he saw Mohammed riding a horse into battle while he acted as an archer.

Following the vision and his release from jail, he began amassing bombs and weapons for the terrorist attack.

In the next vision, after the Paris attacks, he claimed Allah told him to fight for his cause, while his final dream saw Ibrahim blowing himself up.
